Premier League Predictions…

Here are our predictions for this weekend, along with Chris Sutton at the BBC:

STAT ATTACK: Watkins chasing the Golden Boot…

Last weekend the Stat Attack gave us a winner on Man City, who covered the -3 Corner Handicap against Man Utd (corners score: 15-2)…

Aston Villa v Tottenham

Sunday 1pm – Sky Sports

We’ve gone for a high-scoring, goals-at-both ends Villa win on the Predictor. The hosts’ top scorer is a man to follow in the Anytime Scorer market:

• Ollie Watkins is 2nd in the Premier League Top Scorer chart this season with 16 goals, 2 behind Man City’s Erling Haaland

• Watkins has scored 7 times in his last 7 Premier League appearances for Villa – landing 5 x Anytime Scorer payouts

• In the reverse fixture at Spurs earlier this season, Watkins scored the winning goal

Anytime Scorer: Ollie Watkins is 11/8 (2.38) with Skybet, 13/10 (2.3) or 6/5 (2.2) in general.
